[Machine] Narrated by Ibn Umar, I sat close to him for about two years and I never heard him narrating a Hadith from the Prophet except that one day, some companions of the Messenger of Allah were eating a lizard when a woman from the Prophet's wives called them out, saying that it was a lizard. The people stopped eating it, then the Messenger of Allah said, "Eat, for it is not forbidden nor is there any harm in it. However, it is not a food that my people are used to." Another narration of Abu Zakaria states, "nor is there any harm in it."

البيهقي:١٩٤١١ – أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ بِبَغْدَادَ وَأَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْمُزَكِّي بِنَيْسَابُورَ قَالَا أنبأ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ثنا أَبُو قِلَابَةَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ثنا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ تَوْبَةَ الْعَنْبَرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ لِي الشَّعْبِيُّ أَرَأَيْتَ الْحَسَنَ حِينَ يُحَدِّثُ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنِّي جَالَسْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ قَرِيبًا مِنْ سَنَتَيْنِ فَمَا سَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ كَانَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَأْكُلُونَ عِنْدَهُ ضَبًّا فِيهِمْ سَعْدُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَنَادَتْهُمُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ ضَبٌّ فَأَمْسَكَ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كُلُوا فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِحَرَامٍ وَلَا بَأْسَ بِهِ وَلَكِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ طَعَامِ قَوْمِي وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي زَكَرِيَّا أَوْ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ

Ash-'Shuʿbi asked me, "Did you notice how Al-Hasan used to narrate Hadiths from the Prophets? I stayed with Ibn ʿUmar for about two or one-and-half years and I did not hear him narrating any thing from the Prophet ﷺ except his (Hadith): He (Ibn ʿUmar) said, "Some of the companions of the Prophet ﷺ including Saʿd, were going to eat meat, but one of the wives of the Prophet ﷺ called them, saying, 'It is the meat of a Mastigure.' The people then stopped eating it. On that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Carry on eating, for it is lawful.' Or said, 'There is no harm in eating it, but it is not from my meals."

" عَن ابنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: كَانَ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ عِنْدَهُ يَأكُلُونَ ضَبًّا مِنْهُمْ سَعْدُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، فَنَادَتْهُم امْرَأةٌ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِىِّ ﷺ أنَّهُ ضَبٌّ

فَأَمْسِكُوا، فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ : كُلُوا فَإنَّهُ حَلاَلٌ وَلا بَأسَ بِهِ، ولَكِنْ لَيْسَ مِنْ طَعَامِ قَوْمِى".
